Buckwheat is native to South America, and the ears can be red, purple, and yellow. The shape of the plant is similar to that of gray ash. After ripening, the ear is similar to sorghum. Quinoa has become more and more popular in China in recent years. Many growers have the idea of ​​growing buckwheat, so how can buckwheat be grown?

1. Planting requirements

The growth period of buckwheat is 90-220 days. The growth period is related to the sowing time and the local climatic conditions. Generally, the earlier the seeding, the longer the growth period. The planting requirement is that the local frost-free period is more than 100 days, the altitude is above 1500 meters, the precipitation is more than 300mm, and the maximum temperature is not higher than 32 degrees.

2. Preparation before planting

The bottoming fertilizer + soil preparation needs to determine the planting time according to the local climatic conditions. It is best to spread the fertilizer (organic or inorganic or mixed) evenly in the ground one week before sowing. The ground soil is 15-20 cm deep, if there is The roots or plastic film left by the front hoe should be thoroughly cleaned to avoid affecting sowing and buckwheat growth. It is recommended to determine the amount of base fertilizer according to soil testing conditions. If the soil is poor and there is no soil testing condition, 40-45 kg of sulfur-based compound fertilizer should be applied per mu (required compound fertilizer nitrogen ratio of 15:15:15 or higher).

3. Sowing

3.1 The amount of seed used per acre is 400g.

3.2 Line spacing is controlled at 45-50 cm.

3.3 sowing depth 1-2 cm depth of other matters needing attention, need to prepare seed dressing materials before planting, millet or millet, if you need to fry in advance with the millet, the ratio of seed to seed dressing material is 1 seed 2 parts millet (millet) Or determine the amount of material to be planted according to the commissioning situation to ensure the next amount and uniform seeding.

Special attention: Pay close attention to the young shoots within 3-10 days after sowing.

4. Field management

4.1 Management of fertilizer

It is recommended that the base fertilizer be applied at one time without topdressing. If the symptoms of lack of fertilizer are found in the later stage of growth, the nitrogen fertilizer can be applied up to 15 kg per mu.

4.2 Water management

Mainly with drought as the main.

4.3 Pest Management

Underground pests are the main pests in the process of buckwheat planting. Among them, the chafers are the most serious. The buckwheat seedlings that have just sprouted or unearthed are vulnerable to a variety of underground pests. In severe cases, they can cause the whole army to be destroyed. Understand the situation of underground pests in the plot. If the underground pests are serious, it is necessary to apply underground pests and pesticides at the time of planting.

Other common pests are cockroaches. When buckwheat grows to 50 cm or more, it starts to be harmful to leaves or inflorescences. The cockroaches are relatively concentrated and often gather on several buckwheat. The easiest way is to observe cockroaches and artificially capture. . Diseases are common with leaf spot disease, and no economic loss has been reported.

4.4 锄草

After the buckwheat seedling grows to 10 cm, it can be combined with the seedling to start the first grass. Generally, the buckwheat grows to 50 cm or more and needs hoeing 1-2 times.

4.5 seedlings

When the buckwheat seedlings are 10 cm, the seedlings can be started, and the plant spacing requirement is about 25 cm.

4.6 soil

Since the height of buckwheat can reach more than 2 meters, from the second weeding, we must consciously cultivate the roots to make the roots more stable and prevent the late harvesting.

4.7 mature standard

The standard for the ripening of buckwheat is external viewing, the leaves turn yellow and red, the leaves mostly fall off, the dry begins to dry, and the seeds have no moisture with nail files.

5. Harvesting method

At present, there is no buckwheat harvester in China. It is recommended to use a sickle to harvest manually. Cut the buckwheat size and ear, or use the hand to smash the wheat ear. After harvesting, put it in the field or threshing floor to dry it, or you can thresh it in time.

5.1 threshing

Use four separate thresher machine to thresh, need to dry in time after threshing. Farmers who do not leave the machine need buckwheat to dry and then manually beat or crush.

5.2 drying

It is best to choose a place away from sand and gravel when drying, so as to avoid sand and stone mixing, if the condition is dry, the effect is better.

5.3 Clearance

After drying, use a fan to blow off the broken leaves or flats, then you can bag.

5.4 storage

Need a cool, dry, ventilated, mouse-free place.

The above is the planting point of buckwheat. It is only for the reference of the interested farmers. For buckwheat, what else do you want to know?
